Halifax Town Hall, Victorian town hall in Halifax, England

The Halifax Town Hall stands in the center of Halifax with its sandstone structure, tower, steeple, and decorative elements including arcades and columns.

Charles Barry designed this governmental building in 1863, following his work on the Houses of Parliament in London, marking Halifax's municipal growth period.

The Victoria Hall within the building provides space for local exhibitions, community gatherings, and governmental meetings throughout the year.

The building functions as the headquarters of Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, offering public access through scheduled group visits.

The tower features five bells made by John Taylor & Co and sculptures by John Thomas depicting four continents on its spire.
